Code Of Conduct

Through our Code of Conduct policy, Calvin Christian Elementary seeks to nurture students in Christ-like living, critical thinking and joyful service. In this way, we aim to help students become effective members in the Christian community in God’s world.

As a community of Christians who have come together to educate children in the ways of the Lord, CCS supports its parents in expecting students to lead Christ-honouring lives, not only at school, but outside of school hours as well. Our public conduct should be consistent with our basic philosophy of life – to love God above all and to love our neighbours as ourselves. That love should be reflected in all our actions and attitudes toward each other. Since the school bears the name of Jesus Christ, a high standard is expected of students.

Students and staff must behave in a respectful manner and comply with the Code of Conduct. God created us all. We are, therefore, precious and valuable in His sight. He expects us to show respect for all people regardless of race or gender (I Corinthians 8:13; Romans 12). It is the school’s covenantal responsibility to love and care for the children in our classrooms. Nevertheless, all students, are expected to:

Obey those whom God has placed in authority and conduct themselves as responsible citizens who contribute to the welfare of the greater community. (Romans 13:1-7)

This Christian conduct policy is not intended to be simply a legalistic definition of right and wrong. It does not propose to set up the school as a “policing” agency. Rather, its purpose is to help students and to allow them to be unhindered in their pursuit of knowledge, personal growth and spiritual maturity. (Hebrews 12:1-3)
